I have adult on-set minimal change disease and have been fighting with water retention in my legs and abdomen. I had been hospitalized to drain fluids when I was on Lasix , because it had stopped working. During my stay in the hospital my I received IV diuretics. Now I have been going strong for over 1 month taking 1-2 tablets of 1 mg bumetanide depending on need. I also received a 2. diuretic to take approx. 30 min. before as a booster. I feel better and with a healthy diet my water retention can be controlledRead More Read Less

I've been on Bumex for a full month. I have not lost any water weight. The swelling in my feet was so bad I was afraid to touch them lest they burst. The swelling has gone down a lot, but not completely. I was taking 1 mg twice a day for 2 weeks, then 2 mg twice a day for two weeks, and beginning today, I'm on 2 mg three times a day.

Started taking this drug on Friday May 31st, 1 mg tablet. And today June 2nd have already lost 5 pounds of water weight. Feel really good and tightness in legs is getting better. Was taking lasic and it did not work at all except to cause bad leg cramps. Really pleased with this drug.

Started taking Bumetanide this morning and have lost count of trips to the restroom. Working very well. So far I feel good on it. (I had been take furosemide and it did not work well for me and I didn't feel good on it from the beginning).
